Re: [HOW TO] Gain Permanent Root on CL14 Out-The-Box and Backup/Restore Customization

I'm having problems rooting. I just got my Moment with stock Android 2.1 Update 1 installed. Thought rooting would be as easy as flashing a stock ROM to my TP2 was, but it's not looking that way...

Tried to root but having problems with the Sprint Samsung Moment Udate/SW Upgrade software. I get stuck the second time around, after plugging the usb into my Moment and connecting to my computer to download the kernel, I click the "Start Software Download" button and I get an error message, "cannot open bin file".

Now, I've tried this several different ways. I've tried on my Win 7 64 bit PC and my Vista Notebook, same error message. I've also tried the SPH-M900_MR2_DE03_REL_1-forcsytos-recovery-3.0.8.tar file (Radioactive FroYo ROM) and when that didn't work, I tried the SPH-M900_MR2_DE03_REL_1-joeykrim-recovery-2.1.3.tar file. Same problem each time.

I've googled the "cannot open bin file" and quite a few people have had the same problem, but I can't seem to find resolution other than a few, keep trying suggestions.

I'm lost at this point....please help.

OK, must have been late because I didn't notice the above post. Duh. Will try that, fingers crossed.
